Though her beginnings were as an engraver and painter, by the 1940s Louise Bourgeois had turned her attention to sculptural work for which she is now recognized as a twentieth-century leader. By the 1960s she began to execute her work in rubber, bronze, and stone, and the pieces themselves became more referential to themes of family, home and childhood.

Louise Bourgeois is featured in the Season 1 episode "Identity" of the Art21 series "Art:21 -- Art in the Twenty-First Century".

  • I really hope I live to be an artist as long as Louise has. Old, old artists have a presence about them. And so few artists live to such an age.

  • shes so witty!

  • I hope I meet her one day?

  • It's interesting to see her in the series, considering how she was from a much earlier generation of artists.
